The forum will take place on February 25, from 12:00-1 p.m. at the Central Library Theater, 140 East Main Street in downtown Lexington.
 
Business Lexington editor Tom Martin will moderate a brief on-stage interview with 2010 Games panel members including, CEO Jamie Link, Vice President of Sales Terry Johnson, and Housing Bureau Partner Krista Greathouse of Short’s Travel.

The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, to be held at the Kentucky Horse Park September 25-October 10, 2010, are the world championships of the eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale(FEI), and are held every four years.  The Games have never before been held outside of Europe; nor have all eight disciplines ever previously been held together at a single site— both firsts that will be achieved at the Kentucky Horse Park. The Games will be broadcast on NBC Sports, which has made the largest network commitment to coverage of equestrian sport in U.S. television history. The 2010 Games are expected to have a statewide economic impact of $150 million, and current sponsors include the Rolex Company and an unprecedented $10 million title sponsor, Alltech.
